Chapter 7 Troubleshooting Questions About Live TV (Including Satellite Signal) How do I see what's on TV on every channel? • From live TV, press the GUIDE button on the remote to display the program guide. You can use the CHAN UP/DOWN button to scroll the list a page at a time and use the FORWARD and BACK buttons to go forward and back in time. How long can I pause live TV? • You can pause live TV up to 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the video will start playing again, 30 minutes behind "real time." With Dual Tuner enabled, you can pause for up to 30 minutes on each tuner. How far back can I rewind live TV? • The length of time you can rewind depends on how long you have been watching the same channel. The recording starts over each time you change the channel, so if you have just changed the channel, you won't be able to rewind very far (the green area on the Status Bar will be very small). You can store up to 30 minutes of the current channel. If you have been watching the same channel for more than 30 minutes, you can rewind for up to 30 minutes. The same is true for two channels with dual tuner. Can I watch TV while a program is recording? • Yes, you can watch what is recording as it is being recorded. You can also watch any program stored in the Now Playing List while another program is being recorded. If you have Dual Tuner enabled, you can record one program while watching another. See page 5 for information about Dual Tuner. • If you have an antenna or cable signal in addition to DIRECTV® service, you can watch programs carried by that signal-without the DVR service-while your DVR is in standby mode. For more information, see page 3. After changing the channel, how do I rewind to what I was watching before? • You can only rewind Live TV to the point where you last changed the channel. When you change the channel, you skip ahead to the current time on the new channel, and start recording fresh, on that channel. If you are behind live TV and watching something you 108
